Why does increasing soil salinity have adverse effects on plant cells?

Biology

AlekseyPX3 years ago

Due to osmosis, the side of the membrane containing more water than the other will release some of its water to the opposite side, until equilibrium is reached. So, if the plant has more water than the soil does, than the plant will lose water (here the cells may shrivel and wilt). If your plant has a higher salinity than the soil around it perhaps it will end up absorbing more water than it is supposed to (here the cells may swell or even burst)

Ezywhen salinity in soil increases the soil becomes hypertonic when compared to cell sap.the movement of particles from a lower concentrated solution to a higher concentrated solution is callede osmosis. in general conditions cell sap is at higher conc. than surrounding media. this allows water and minerals to enter the plant. but when soil is at higher conc. i.e., when its salinity increases the process becomes reversed can you imagine its consequenses?

Explanation:

  • When cell death occurs due to ischemia or infarction then this is termed as Coagulative necrosis.
  • During this type of necrosis, cell death occurs in a localized area due to lack of oxygen and other nutrients.
  • When a two year old swallows watch batteries then these batteries becomes trapped in the digestive system and inside the digestive tract , the positive and negative terminals of the battery gets bridged by the mucosa leading to the production of the electrical current and increase in the pH of the mucosa.

As the ocean increases in depth how would producers and consumers be affected?<br> Explain why.
fredd [130]

Answer:

die

Explanation:

Food webs describe who eats whom in an ecological community. Made of interconnected food chains, food webs help us understand how changes to ecosystems — say, removing a top predator or adding nutrients — affect many different species, both directly and indirectly.

Phytoplankton and algae form the bases of aquatic food webs. They are eaten by primary consumers like zooplankton, small fish, and crustaceans. Primary consumers are in turn eaten by fish, small sharks, corals, and baleen whales. Top ocean predators include large sharks, billfish, dolphins, toothed whales, and large seals. Humans consume aquatic life from every section of this food web.
